Welcome Chelsea

Welcome!

Do you know for sure that Tiki is a hybrid mix or have you just been told she might be based on her looks or behavior? It doesn't much matter as long as you love her, but I'm just curious.

lovely! Both look exactly the same!

Are you in the UK as they dont have chausies here! cant see any ben shes lovely!! :D

Here is the breed description http://www.tica.org/public/breeds/cu/intro.php...i met her on ETSY and i am making a collar for her new kitty...i think she may be a rescue and she is having some problems with the new kitty and her other cat so i recommended she look at this forum...she is in the U.S....

Tiki definitely looks "different", she is very nice, I like her white goggles. Wally is so cute with his Superman badge and his little white paws in the pic... aaw!

Chausie cats are a hybrid cat which come from the Jungle cat similar to how the Bengal was created using the ALC

They have breed DNA testing for dogs but not cats. :-/ I don't understand why not.
